V1.Chapter 1993

Kissinger's answer was directed at Eric's inquiry.

In the lawsuit, the plaintiff is on the offensive side. Since the defendant is sued, it is natural to provide evidence and witnesses. The defendant is the defender and tries to refute these evidence.

Kissinger presented the entrustment agreement signed by Mrs. Wilson and GMP firm in court.

What's special about this entrustment agreement? It appointed Xia Xiaolan as the project leader.

"Thank you for your cooperation!"

The terms of the entrustment agreement are very favorable to Xia Xiaolan.

Because of the special requirements of customers, Xia Xiaolan can be responsible for the renovation of the theater as an intern, while Lisa is only an assistant assigned by GMP to Xia Xiaolan.

Miles, Lisa's lawyer, questioned Kissinger's testimony:

"According to the practice regulations of architects in the United States, the intern of the firm does not have the qualification of registered architect, and she can not act as the person in charge of such a project. For the sake of interests, Kissinger, the partner of the firm, violated the professional regulations of architects“

Kissinger pursed his lips.

At that time, he did not let Xia Xiaolan act as the person in charge because he was optimistic about Xia Xiaolan, but the customer appointed Xia Xiaolan. In order to retain his business, he played this marginal ball.

Xia Xiaolan is not a registered architect. She wants to make a major reconstruction of the interior of the building, and the scheme must be signed by the registered architect.

This is the meaning of Lisa's existence.

Damn it——

"Objection, the question has nothing to do with this case!"

He believes that Kissinger has violated the architect's professional laws and regulations, so he should file a separate case to sue Kissinger. Today, it is a copyright lawsuit.

Eric wouldn't allow Kissinger to be attacked like this.

"The objection is valid."

Thank God, the judge supported him.

Miles will take it as soon as it's good.

Around, he still asked a few questions that embarrassed Kissinger.

What's the use of this wrangling?

Attacking Kissinger's integrity made his testimony unreliable.

Xia Xiaolan took out the original creation, and Lisa also had the original creation.

The "original manuscript" submitted by the two people has been identified and the creation time is about the same. This identification technology can identify the approximate time according to the aging of paper and the change of note ink, but it can not really be accurate to which day.

Who comes first?

Family members can sit in, but they are forbidden to speak. Liu Fen and others are also in court, but they are also secretly worried.

Liu Fen is most worried. Her English level is not enough. She can understand very simple daily dialogue, involving looking at professional vocabulary. She speaks fast. She is confused.

She can only guess according to the expressions of Hu Ying, Professor Wen and others.

Hu Ying was very worried, and Liu Fen was also worried.

Liu Fen's eyes fell on her daughter again. Xia Xiaolan was calm in the plaintiff's seat.

Xia Xiaolan is not arrogant enough to despise the court. When it's time to be clever, she will never be stupid.

No matter how strong the expression desire is, she should bear it. Since she trusts Eric, she will hand over the trial to Eric. If necessary, someone will naturally ask the plaintiff questions. She doesn't have to yell——

Lisa is calm, too.

It seems so.

Lisa did a lot of psychological rehearsals for today. At first, she felt guilty when the AIA jury admitted that it was her work.

I lied too many times. I said on the TV program that in the face of the reporter interviewed, she also exercised a very thick skin.

Xia Xiaolan looked away.

The court trial is like this. One attack and one defense. Lawyers from both sides come and fight.

After Kissinger, Matthew is the second witness.

As another intern and a participant in the theater renovation program, Matthew testified in court that Xia Xiaolan was the absolute creator of the program:

"Although she is young, she leads Lisa and I in this work."

"The plan was put forward and designed by her. She asked me if Lisa and I had anything to add, but Lisa said no."

"Have you seen Lisa's original design? No, Lisa is more responsible for on-site supervision. "

When Eric finished, it was Lisa's lawyer miles.

This complaint stick was so shameless that his questions made the members of the jury look at each other.

"Matthew Carlton, you and the plaintiff studied in the school of architecture of Cornell University. Did you have any contact during your school? I've noticed that you all participated in the design competition sponsored by the Wilson Hotel for Cornell School of architecture. "

When the students have no contact?

I took part in the competition together. It's a contact.

Matthew didn't look very well. Xia Xiaolan took the first place. He didn't cooperate well with Jonathan and others. He only took the third place. What can I mention.

"Yes, contact -"

"Have you ever helped each other when you and the plaintiff joined the GMP firm for internship?"

"Yes."

Do you want to express in court that he once wanted Xia Xiaolan to perform worse and stand out?

Miles smiled, "Matthew Carlton, you and the plaintiff are classmates and colleagues. You get along with such a beautiful Chinese girl day and night. Can't help but be attracted to her and have a good impression on her... Please answer me, do you like the plaintiff?"

"Objection! The question has nothing to do with this case! "

Eric already knows what miles is going to do.

This time, the judge didn't know what he was thinking and rejected Eric's objection:

"The objection is invalid. Please ask the witness to answer the questions of the defendant's lawyer."

All eyes fell on Matthew.

Including Xia Xiaolan.

Matthew's face turned red at once.

"Matthew Carlton, you have sworn that all your testimony is true. Please answer my question. Were you attracted by the plaintiff and fell in love with the plaintiff during your work?"

He who has sworn cannot give false testimony or lie.

"... yes."

It's over, this cunning lawyer, Matthew wants to slap himself. He never wanted to confess, let alone in court! He doesn't intend to confess all his life. He just wants to be stronger than Xia Xiaolan. Well, he has a little desire for strength.

Matthew bowed his head in shame. He fell into the lawyer's trap.

"I --"

"Your honor, my question is over."

Miles stopped questioning decisively.

The jury is buzzing.

The plaintiff Xia Xiaolan appeared in court for two witnesses in a row. Kissinger, a partner of GMP firm, was questioned by miles that there was a big problem with professional ethics.

The other is Matthew Carlton. Miles found out in court that Matthew loves Xia Xiaolan.

Can the motive of these two people's testimony and their testimony form a complete chain of evidence?

What the judge would think, and what the jury would think.

Xia Xiaolan herself was surprised. Lisa's lawyer is worthy of filing lawsuits for people in the entertainment industry. Can copyright lawsuits start from the relationship between men and women? Is it the logic that Matthew is willing to go to court for perjury because he likes her?

——Why does Matthew like her?

Iron straight woman fell into deep confusion.

Matthew's trick, boy, doesn't he always want to take her chance?

Later, when I got close to her, I was also struck by her. After crying, the weak chicken was in awe of the big man. At what stage did "like" it? Please forgive Xia Xiaolan for being blind. I really didn't see it... I treated you as a brother, and you confessed to me in court?!
